I cannot claim to be an expert on relationship matters as I am with smartphones so this one is for the red pill guys.

I reread Chimamanda's book "Americanah" recently and at the end, the dude left his wife for his old flame.

I understand that after a point, many long term relationships and/or marriage become boring or even downright annoying. My married friends are starting to hangout more and more from time to time as they seek for sanity in these trying times, especially the ones with demanding spouses.

But I still don't understand the rationale behind why a guy would leave a long term relationship he had invested so much into and chase the the thrill of an old flame.

If given the choice, which one would you choose and why?

Ha, americanah, not sure I remember that book all too well anymore. I'm not married either, but it's true people these days tire of relationships very easily. Inability to spice things up, the same daily routine, the absence of finding out new things about each other? Who knows.

For me, I haven't even considered marriage for a lot of reasons. I can't imagine waking next up to someone that believes in talking animals, that would wake me up every morning in the name of calling onto an imaginary being, I'd lose my sanity. I had once dated someone who's secular as I am back in Univeristy, and I admit I still think about her now from time to time, if I'd go back to anyone it would be her. These days, na cruise I dey catch.

Been rereading some Robert ludlums books, the Jason Bourne series, and Dan Brown, two my best authors.
